Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by thy cradle 'till morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there

Did you hear the spirit muse?

Gabriel, brings a message
Listen for the divine presage

And the God Child came
And the angels sang
And the wise men came from lands afar

Gospel, Gospel
Good News, Good News
Did you hear the spirit muse?

Gabriel, brings a message
Listen for the divine presage

At the sea of glass
Was a holy mass
And they watched as the king left in a star

Gospel, Gospel
Good News, Good News
Did you hear the spirit muse?

Gabriel, brings a message
Listen for the divine presage

In a manger of Bethlehem
Mother Mary births the lamb
And all the children of all time
Sing this song and join in rhyme

And the God Child came
And the angels sang
And the wise men came from lands afar

Christmas Child
Born to set this dark world right
Son of Man
Wondrous gift of love and light

You wonder where to find him and you don't know where to start
Just turn to him and trust him for he's deep in your heart

He knows you
He knows you
As he knows a flower
He knows you
He knows you
As you open by the hour

So long he watched you while he waited by your side
Each time he found you when you wanted to hide

He knows you...Mama
He knows you...Papa
He knows you...Nana
He knows you...Baba
He knows you...Sister
He knows you...Brother
He knows you...Auntie
He knows you...Uncle
He knows you...Cousin
He knows you...

Open your eye, see the star in the sky, it's a dream come true
Follow your heart, it's a God's foot head start, it's a dream come true
Glide with the wind, it's the spirit's close friend, it's a dream come true
Fly with love's wings, with the angels that sing, it's a dream come true

Send Him a prayer or two
Send Him a prayer from you
Send Him a song and you will
Find your dream
You will find your dream
Cause you love him so
Cause you love him so
The Holy City that has no self pity a dream come true...

Let love shine, leave hate behind
Let love shine, let love shine

Let hearts forgive, new life to live
Let love shine, let love shine

Let fear go, new peace you'll know
Let love shine, let love shine

Dance on a cloud the pure heart of a child
then you'll know
Swing on a swing that's attached to the king
then you'll know
Celestial streams will them make your heart sing
then you'll know
Follow the star that led three from afar
then you'll know
Laid in the hay is the babe that will rule one day

One day, one day, one day

We three kings of orient are
Bearing gifts, we traveled so far
Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Within thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Away in a manger no crib for his bed
Lay little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay
Oh come let us adore him....

Did you ever hold a baby, and kiss it's little ear?
The feeling that you get inside is a memory's souvenier
Did you ever decorate a tree on Christmas Eve?
The feeling that you get inside, it's not make believe
Did someone ever say to you,"Can I help you in some way?"
And you want to thank them so, but cannot find a way

Love is real, love is real
That's love, that you feel
And you'll find his love is found all around
Can't you see, that it's free
From our friend in Galilee
And you'll find, his love is found, all around

Did you ever see a bride walking down an isle?
And the look in her husband's eyes as he gives her a smile?
Did you ever see a child play with a puppy dog?
And it seems the two of them exchange a dialog
Did you ever see a sunset from an ocean shore?
Or stand upon a mountain top and view a valley floor?

Love is real, love is real
That's love, that you feel
And you'll find his love is found all around
Can't you see, that it's free
From our friend in Galilee
And you'll find, his love is found, all around

I'm dreaming of a sacred eternity
Giving our hearts, to all my brothers
I'm dreaming of a sacred eternity
Giving our hearts to all my sisters

There shined a star that led wise men afar
And shepherds were singing to Salvington Child
The angels did join to the ode of the night
And fairies were singing to Salvington Child

How special the visit of this Divine Son
The lamb and the lion were playing
The Bright and Morning Star holds his hand
Mother Mary crying
Born the Son of Man
Born the Son of Man

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

And all through the ages
The seeds of the Son
Gave mothers and fathers the Salvington Child
And all those who knew him were true to the light
And walked in the steps of the Salvington Child

And Christmas lives on in the hearts of all hope
The Kingdom of Peace of the Salvington Child
The Kingdom of Peace
Of the Salvington Child
